Life of Lucy

As a mommy, having an uninterrupted shower is a rare occurrence. Today, I had one of those wonderful showers. A warm shower on a cold winter morning, good smelling shampoo, what a great way to start the day. Usually I hear little feet running back and forth from the living room to the bathroom, the shower curtain is pulled back many times, getting the floor and the child wet. There are lots of crouched over conversations to hear what Lucy is doing or what is happening on Sesame Street. Then there is the game of grab mommy's legs through the shower curtain that all ends with rinsing my hair with luke-warm water. Today, I did not hear the feet running to the bathroom until the water was turned off. Then, I saw Lucy's face look up at me and she said so proudly 'Mommy, I'm beautiful with color on my legs and feet!'.
'What Honey?'
'I colored with PEN!'

Then she pulled up her jammie pants and I saw the damage. After telling her that pens were 'no-no's and that she was not allowed to use pen anymore (where did she find one in the first place?) I did what any normal mother would do. I took Pictures!
